afterward_o believe_v to_o be_v save_v through_o the_o passion_n of_o jesu_n christ_n and_o three_o have_v a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o leave_v sin_n and_o to_o fly_v the_o same_o when_o you_o find_v

save_v or_o at_o least_o shall_v save_v the_o people_n from_o wrong_n and_o oppression_n but_o all_o this_o be_v not_o perfect_a save_n for_o what_o avail_v it_o to_o be_v save_v from_o sickness_n
